2-Oleoylglycerol
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
2-Oleoylglycerol (2-OG) is a lipid found in the diet. It is a GPR119 agonist, with an EC50 value of 2.5 μM in activating hGPR119 in transiently transfected COS-7 cells. 2-Oleoylglycerol enhances the inflammatory response of macrophages and promotes fibrosis by activating the GPR119/TAK1/NF-κB/TGF-β1 signaling pathway. It also stimulates glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion in vivo. 2-Oleoylglycerol is expected to be used in the research of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) .
